Good choice in Waukesha!

Make sure to look for your check in email day of stay, so that you can access your keys. Staff at front desk were very pleasant. Coupon for discount food at a local restaurant included every 3-4 days.

Great location, Room was very comfortable. The shower and the bed was the best. We were given a food voucher for three places. Parking was two blocks away. I didn’t move my car from the front we’ll see if I get a ticked. Staff very friendly. Looking forward to staying there again.

Because the restaurant was closed we had to call a number to gain access to the lobby. Parking is a good 5-10 minute walk away in a ramp that has complicated rules and no ticket system. It would be great if hotel worked out something with the city to ease that. But you may luck out and use a space in front of the hotel to drop off your luggage. The shower was an absolute delight! Breakfast voucher was nice for offsite dining next to the hotel.

The hotel was very comfortable. We noted a strong smell of a cleaning agent which required us to change rooms. The staff handled very well. Fortunately there was a cancellation and there was a room available.
